Orange County Surf Forecast – Weekend Waves – New NW swell peaks on Sunday
The Swell
On Saturday we will have a mix of playful NW swell (290-300) and some inconsistent, but fun, SW swell (200-220). A larger NW swell may show a few new lines at the top spots by the late afternoon…but most of the energy will arrive after dark.
Sunday the NW swell (285-300+) will peak and mix with the smaller SW energy (200-220). Look for the biggest surf through the morning and then a gradual slow down by the afternoon and into Monday.
Waves
Saturday morning the average spots are going to hold in the knee-waist high range with a few waist-high+ sets showing at the combo spots. Standout SW facing spots and excellent combo spots will have some waist-chest surf with some occasional chest-shoulder high sets. Keep an eye out for some new NW energy to start to filter into the best exposed spots by late in the afternoon.
Sunday the NW’er (285-300) will peak through the morning while the SW swell holds. Average spots will push up into the waist-chest high range with some shoulder high sets. The better combo breaks will see some inconsistent head high sets. The stand NW facing breaks, mostly through North County, will see surf in the shoulder-head high range with overhead sets mixing in on the lower tides.
Winds
Saturday may see a little funkiness as outer water winds try to spin up a bit of eddy…it shouldn’t be totally blown out or anything but there is the potential for some onshore texture through the dawn patrol that will strengthen through the afternoon.
Sunday looks clean with light/variable to light offshore winds through the morning. W-WSW winds 10-15 knots move in through the afternoon.
